Michael Riley

Partner

I am Mike Riley, partner at Simpson Legal Group, LLC.  I have been a lawyer for over fourteen (14) years in Minnesota and most recently Iowa. After practicing at a southwest Iowa law firm for seven years and over half of my practice dedicated to the area of family law, I have decided to solely focus on family law.  I also completed the Comprehensive Divorce & Family Mediation from Crilley Mediation Services  to become a mediator in my community.  

I am married and have two wonderful children that do their best to keep me active.  As a Minnesota native and avid sports fan, I have learned to enjoy my sports teams despite the constant pain and suffering they cause me.

My education started at Minnesota State University in Mankato, MN where I received my Bachelor of Science and graduated Summa Cum Laude.  In 2006, I graduated from Hamline University School of Law with my Juris Doctorate.  I am a member of the Iowa Bar Association as well as the Family Law Section.
